The 6th International Conference of the North East Indian Linguistics Society (NEILS) will be held Jan. 31 - Feb. 2, 2011, on the campus of Tezpur University (http://www.tezu.ernet.in/), to be hosted by the Tezpur University Department of English and Foreign Languages.

The revised fee schedule is estimated to be as follows, and includes lunch and tea/snacks on each day of the conference: Rs. 250 Local student Rs. 1250 Local non-student/International student Rs. 2500 International non-student

In conjunction with the conference, the Department of English and Foreign Languages will also be hosting a two-day workshop series (at no charge), from Jan. 29-30 at the Department itself. Workshops are primarily aimed at students, although non-students are also welcome to attend.

Final Call For Papers

This is the second and final Call for Papers for presentation at the 6th International Conference of the North East Indian Linguistics Society (NEILS6).

To present a paper at NEILS6, please send an abstract of no more than 500 words (exclusive of data and references, if any) by October 15, 2010 via email to both mark.postjcu.edu.au and s.moreylatrobe.edu.au. Please send both the original abstract (.doc, .odf, .rtf or .txt format) and a .pdf of the same. Please save the file using the following format: NEILS6_Abstract_INITIAL+SURNAME_BRIEFTITLE.EXT For example, NEILS6_Abstract_PSingh_ManipuriPronouns.doc.

Notification of acceptance will normally take place in early November, although early submissions/decisions for those needing to make extensive advance travel arrangements can be arranged. As the primary focus of NEILS is description of the rich cultural-linguistic diversity that exists in North East India, papers should have a primary descriptive component, preferably from a functional-typological or anthropological-linguistic perspective. Field reports are acceptable. Papers whose sole or primary focus is formal and/or theoretical in nature are unlikely to be accepted for presentation.
